wise. Every publisher that accepted his offer
awaited himself of the privilege Of having the
monthly sent free to all his subscribers Three
years passed. and it was then time to spring the
trap At the end of the first year the Chicago
man did not cease to send his paper to all who
were not wise enough to have it stopped When
he supposed he had them two or three

Excitement at Key West.

KEY WEST, Fla. Sept. 16-The city Is all
agog. a Spanish ram is anchored in the harbor,
and another is cruising up and down the keys
outside. There is a rumor which has gained
considerable credence throughout the CITY, that
they are here to be used in KIDNAPPING two
Gu American citizens supposed to be impli-
Gated in the latest fhbustering movement. The
Spanish government always has few we'll paid
spies here, and successful kidnapping expedition
would not be at all difficult. So far as defense
is concerned the town has none. There is not
even a militia company on the island. The i'm
portance attached to the recent filibustering ex-
petition is shown by the activity of the Spanish
government. The latest news from Cuba has it
that the force of flibusters landed near Matan-
zas, numbering fifty-seven men, led by
Manuel Garcia, and that he was killed in
sklrmish with the troops and civil guards. This
information is dscredited in some quarters, and
nothing official can be learned. Gunboats have
been station ed along the coast. Seventeen men,
supposed to belong to the filioustering force,
have been captured in the jurisdiction of Ma
tanzas, and will be tried by court-martial in the
city OF MatanzaS.
